That may help you focus at a savings of over $2,000.00 USD.

The frame lines for the 90 will be a bit small, but don't worry about the focus. Nonetheless, please don't ask me, "what to do."

I own an M6TTL, a 35mm Summicron, and a 50mm Noctilux. I've decided I'd like to try a focal length with a bit of magnification, and I've settled on the 90mm APO Summicron. However, my M6 has the 0.58 finder, chosen because I knew most of my shooting would be with the 35mm, a match that I love. Would the 90mm lens' focal length be extremely difficult to focus with the 0.58 finder, so much so that I should defer the purchase until some time (meaning probably a *long* time!) in the future when I can afford another body with a 0.72 or 0.85 finder? If so, the other Leica object I'm lusting for is the 8X42BN binoculars, which I could put to use right away on many upcoming trips... What to do?
